WHY GET AN EYE EXAM?

In addition to evaluating your vision, an eye exam can help you detect general health issues well before other signs become apparent. Early detection of issues like diabetes or hypertension means you can more easily manage them before they become bigger problems.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

You only get one set of eyes. A vision plan from VSP will help you take care of them and save money at the same time. But vision insurance is more than that. Taking good care of your vision is important to your overall health. During your eye exam, the doctor can detect early signs of serious general health conditions so you can manage them before they become more difficult problems. This can include things like diabetes and high blood pressure.

VSP is different from other types of insurance you might be used to. Take car insurance, for example — you hope you never have to use it. But with vision insurance, you actually want to use it because it will save you money on expenses you already know are coming. With VSP, you'll receive services at rates well below walk-in prices, and you don't even need an ID card — any VSP doctor can access your plan coverage. All you have to do is make your appointment, get your exam, select your frames and lens options, and the doctor's office will take care of the rest. You pay any copays or overage right there at the doctor's office, and you're done. It's that simple. And don't forget: you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) for out-of-pocket costs at the doctor's office. You can choose a vision insurance plan for individuals or to cover you and a dependent or to cover the whole family (children under 27 or disabled at any age). Each member gets the same great coverage.

The money you save depends on the plan you choose and the selections you make at the doctor's office. The following chart shows a typical example of the savings you could enjoy. The more lens enhancements you opt for, the more you'll save. Plus, you can add to your savings by using your Health Savings Account (HSA) for your copays and out-of-pocket costs.
